-You are obsessed with your activity mat. Specifically the butterflies on your activity mat. They don’t move (without someone manually twirling them) or make noise or light up but they bring a smile to your face (and sometimes even laughter) more than anything else can (including your parents).

-Speaking of laughter. You laugh from time to time. Once it was a real laugh. But mostly it sounds like you are choking to death. Please work on changing that. It’s very terrifying.

-You are being dressed in 6 month footed onesies. They are a little big but you are much too tall for the 0-3 month old ones. Speaking of which, once we accidentally put you in 9 month footed onesies and were scared by how well they fit you.

I have great intentions and horrible follow throughs. I found this bib stashed in our attic. It’s from the Mall of America, which I visited in 2003. Right around the time when my cousin gave birth to an adorable baby girl.

Considering the last time I saw her we had a lengthy discussion about whether the zombie apocalypse was going to happen I figured she didn’t need a bib anymore.

I also found superman toys that I bought for another one of my cousin’s kids. A kid who is now playing football for his high school. I really have to get more timely on things!

Just kicking ass and taking names over here. In other news, for the first time in… well…. forever… I can’t wait for it to be winter so any remaining bugs go into hiding.

In today’s chapter of Sonja-finds-random-crap-while-cleaning-out-the-house I give you: Sonja’s Resolutions circa 2010…. I think… one of my goals referenced being 130 lbs by my bro-in-laws wedding in 2010. (Note: I definitely broke that resolution.)

But weight resolutions are boring. Here are my more favorite items:

– Cut down on sauce intake. (Hahaha this should still be on there… I love me some sauces. I eat steak just so I can have steak sauce.)

– Do not look at computer before bed, it impedes melatonin levels. (But that’s when I catch up on Tumblr….)

– Stay on Nutrisystem until ALL food is gone (Ewww Nutrisystem is gross – I cancelled that crap.)

– Finish painting bathroom by year-end. (So that one is still open…)

-Read 1 quality book every 2 weeks. (Not sure what “good quality” means…. but pretty sure I read the Twilight series around that time.)

– Teach kittehs their name by year-end. (Youz guyz, I’m seriously proud of this one. Sushi and Sox were over two years old before they learned their names and I had been worried they never would learn them. Spam knew his within the first month).

– Bathe cats quarterly. (Bwahahahaha. What was I smoking? I would be dead. Like Red Wedding dead!)

– Wear dresses more. (I have NO idea what this was about but ever since I got pregnant I’ve been anti pants so its all the dresses all the time over here.)
